Israel says Tehran will “pay the price and soon” after Iranian missiles struck the cities of Tel Aviv and Haifa, killing at least eight.

As Israel accuses Tehran of pursuing nuclear weapons, Iran’s foreign ministry now says it’s looking at leaving the nuclear non-proliferation treaty… Which could end its cooperation with the UN’s nuclear watchdog altogether. Dr Hussein Ibish from the Arab Gulf States Institute told The World’s Girish Sawlani the Netanyahu government is trying to deliver a “knock-out blow” to the Iranian regime. #ABCTheWorld #ABCAsiaPacific
